11Beloved, I call upon [you], as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,
12having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.
13Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the Lord, whether to a king, as the highest,
14whether to governors, as to those sent through him, for punishment, indeed, of evil-doers, and a praise of those doing good;
15because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men;
16as free, and not having the freedom as the cloak of the evil, but as servants of God;
17to all give ye honour; the brotherhood love ye; God fear ye; the king honour ye.
